Many city schools have public health defects
Several City schools were found with various public health defects during a recent inspection by the Mayor and City Council’s Public Health Department, last month. Some of the defects have since been corrected.
This was revealed at the Council’s recent statutory meeting, when the Department submitted its findings.
According to Public Relations Officer, Royston King, Officers of the Environmental Health Section inspected 50 primary and secondary schools in Georgetown.
Some of the public health defects included dirty and smelly sanitary blocks, insanitary conditions around drinking water taps and inadequate refuse storage facilities.
King assured that these issues were brought to the attention of the respective head teachers.
Councillors are calling on the competent authorities to ensure the integrity of schools to the health and well-being of students. School yards should be kept clean and tidy at all times, he said.
